//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: When the Ponies Bother Me // by Crystalline Star MLP //------------------------------// Out of nowhere, a stallion was by my window, singing the children's nursery rhymes. "Rain, rain, go away, come again another day..." IT WASN'T EVEN RAINING! I face hoofed so hard that I fell over onto the floor, which fortunately had a random pillow exactly where my head landed. In the other side of the room, a figure giggled, her hair being flipped over. Then a groan was heard. Then she got up off of the small chair and headed off towards the bathroom to brush her mane. Now that she was gone, I could get on with my plan. I wrote my Thing Plan on a piece of paper. Later it was about time that I would evil. I went to visit the stallion. He, of course, invited me in because he still admired me from when I got my cutie mark and set off a dazzling display. It was time for step one, act normal. No matter how much I hated it, I chatted with the stallion about various things. "So uh, how are you?" "Tired. Too many sports to do at school." "Really? I have seen you at school, Awesome Blue! We are in the same math class, right?" "Yep. I was hoping to talk to you about something." "Yeah, what?" "I'm failing math, language, AND science." "Oh. Okay. What do you expect me to do about it?" "Will you tutor me?" "I expect payment." "Okay... ten dollars per hour??" "Fiiine..." "K." It was time for the second step of my thing plan, the turnaround, or the Sour Sweet. "Hey. Should I make some toast?" "Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes YEs YEs YES!" He was quite excited because he had no idea how to use the toaster that sat in his kitchen unused. What he didn't know, however, was that I had a few tricks up my non existent sleeve. Seriously, where did that idiom come from in Equestria? Nopony has sleeves unless they are formally dressed or at the Grand Galloping Gala or, like me, in Humanestria. First I put frozen bread in the toaster on warm setting. The ice melted and the bread was unbearably wet and soggy. I had Awesome Blue take the bread out of the toaster and taste it. He loved it so much that he floated despite being an earth pony and unable to float. Hmm. Some boys. Next, I did the greatest thing. I put dry bread in the toaster along with a thin, two millimeter, five inch long, four inch wide, wet, shiny, gray, sharp, scratched, reflective, cracked, bluish, ugly metal sheet. Gray smoke spewed from the kitchen. A disgusting stench came from the smoke. It became burning hot. The toaster started by catching fire, then exploding. The smoke detectors blared out. I broke open the ceiling and flew out. The stallion Awesome Blue lived. Eh. BONUS SCENE in third person Sunrise' school day was as boring as ever. She was going to her math class. She disliked it because there was a boy who liked to move the desk. No. Not move... Shake. That one day, she was REALLY irritated from gym, trying to find a tiny ounce of sympathy. So she sat down. She saw the boy. Moving the table. No! Not MOVING. SHAKING!!! She growled through clenched teeth, "You shake this desk ONE MORE TIME..." And he shook it again. Sunrise took two pencils out of her case and threw them. Into each of his eyes.
